Gu Baiwei felt a strange familiarity with the title "Mr. Ye," but she still couldn't quite place it.
She took out her phone and called Shen Xiangsong. Shen Xiangsong's kind voice came through quickly: "Weiwei?"
Through the telephone receiver, Gu Baiwei could clearly hear the sound of a glass rolling across the table from the other end of the line.
"Yan Qing, are you alright?"
Shen Xiangsong's concerned voice came through the receiver, and Gu Baiwei heard it clearly. Her hand gripping the phone tightened unconsciously, as she felt that the name was unusually familiar.
A man's cool voice came from the background of the phone: "Second Uncle, I'm fine."
Shen Xiangsong seemed to smile at the man before letting out a sigh of relief and continuing to inquire about Gu Baiwei's situation.
She quickly regained her composure and briefly informed him of Mr. Ye's visit.
The moment I hung up the phone, my heart started pounding uncontrollably, because I felt that the name I had just heard was very familiar.
After hanging up the phone, she got up and went downstairs. Since Shen Xiangsong wasn't there, she, as the hostess, should go downstairs to greet the guests.
She changed into a white knee-length dress and went downstairs. She immediately saw a young man sitting on the sofa with his back straight, and her steps faltered slightly.
She seems quite ill; everyone looks familiar to her.
With a helpless smile, she put on a polite and appropriate smile and walked over lightly: "Hello, Mr. Ye, I am Mr. Shen's adopted daughter..."
Before she could finish speaking, the man sitting upright on the sofa suddenly looked up, his dark eyes meeting hers, filled with undisguised surprise and excitement.
"Weiwei."
Ye Yunting never expected to see her again. A year ago, after hearing the news that she and Qi Yu had died in an explosion, he remained silent for a long time. He rented a cruise ship and searched at sea for more than half a month, but he couldn't even find a piece of her clothing.
He was surprised that she was still alive, and for a moment he didn't know whether to be excited or nervous.
The hand resting on the sofa armrest slowly tightened, and after a moment she stood up somewhat awkwardly: "You're alright, that's great."
Seeing the person he had been longing for appear before him, he wanted to rush forward and hug her tightly, but he held back. Given their current relationship, he couldn't do that.
Gu Baiwei was somewhat surprised that he recognized her, but she still maintained a polite smile: "Excuse me, I've recently lost my memory. Have we met before?"
Meeting those emotionless eyes, Ye Yunting felt his heart skip a beat; she had actually forgotten him.
But at the same time, she was secretly relieved that she had forgotten everything between them. Did that mean he had a chance to pursue her again?
My heart, which had just calmed down, instantly leaped with joy at this thought.
Ye Yunting suppressed his excitement: "Yes, we are friends."
After regaining consciousness, Gu Baiwei encountered her old friend for the first time and couldn't help but ask him, "Were we close before?"
A simple question caused Ye Yunting's mind to race. She had indeed forgotten everything. She had once loved him and hated him. Now she remembered nothing. Was this a chance from heaven, an opportunity to pursue her again?
Seeing that he hadn't responded for a long time, Gu Baiwei couldn't help but frown: "Is this a difficult question to answer?"
"No."
Ye Yunting looked at her and said softly, "We have a good relationship."
"Am I married? Or do I have a boyfriend?"
Vague fragments of memory kept flashing through her mind, jumbled and indistinct, yet always blurry and unclear.
Ye Yunting hadn't expected that this was the question she cared about most, and after a moment of silence, he said, "No."
He ultimately lacked the courage to reveal that they had married and had children in their past life.
Those memories weren't pleasant for her, and he'd rather she forget them forever and never think about them again, so that there might still be a chance for them.
Upon hearing his reply, Gu Baiwei immediately breathed a sigh of relief. She was terrified; this man spoke so slowly and deliberately, it was quite frustrating.
Seeing her relieved expression, Ye Yunting's heart ached again. Even with amnesia, she still rejected their marriage.
After that, the two started chatting casually, with Gu Baiwei asking questions and Ye Yunting answering most of the time. Surprisingly, their time together was the most harmonious they had ever been since their rebirth.
Sunlight streamed through the large floor-to-ceiling windows, bathing the woman's slender body in a soft glow.
She leaned back on the sofa opposite him, resting her chin on one hand. Her fair face was so clear in the sunlight that even the fine downy hairs were visible, just like when he first saw her.
After going around in circles, they seemed to have returned to where they started.
“Weiwei, we…”
As Ye Yunting watched this scene, his eyes were filled with a tenderness he had never felt before.
Before he could finish his sentence, the sound of the door opening clearly came from the doorway, and he swallowed the words that were on the tip of his tongue.
There's still a chance. As long as she comes back, there's still hope.
He comforted himself like this, but suddenly looked up and met a pair of cold, deep eyes. His body stiffened slightly; it was Shen Yanqing.
Hearing the noise, Gu Baiwei turned around and looked in the direction of the sound. The moment she met those familiar eyes, her heart raced. She knew those eyes very well.
While he was still in a daze, Shen Xiangsong had already introduced Shen Yanqing with a smile: "Yanqing, this is my adopted daughter, Weiwei."
"Adopted daughter?"
Shen Yanqing had just received news that Gu Baiwei had been taken away by Shen Xiangsong's men, so he immediately came looking for her.
Everyone thought Shen Xiangsong wanted to use Gu Baiwei to force him to hand over the shares of Shen's Group, but unexpectedly, Shen Xiangsong actually adopted Gu Baiwei as his daughter.
What exactly is he trying to do? Could it be that he wants to use Gu Baiwei to force him to marry Shen Yao?
Shen Yanqing's gaze swept over Shen Xiangsong with a deep look, while his right hand, hanging down, clenched tightly without making a sound.
He withdrew his gaze with a calm expression, and after a moment, the corners of his lips slightly lifted: "Second Uncle, you've raised a good daughter this time."
The words, though meant as a compliment, were laced with sarcasm.
Shen Xiangsong had always known that he didn't like Shen Yao and was displeased with his previous attempt to match them up, but he still maintained his composure and smiled, "Yes, Weiwei and Yaoyao are both my good daughters."
As they spoke, as if only then noticing Ye Yunting's presence, she smiled gently and said, "Mr. Ye, lunchtime is almost here. Why don't we stay for lunch and discuss the cooperation in more detail afterward?"
Ye Yunting didn't expect to run into Shen Yanqing here. He met Shen Yanqing's gaze for a moment, then looked away and nodded with a smile: "Thank you, Mr. Shen. I'll take my leave then."
During the brief pause in their conversation, Gu Baiwei subtly observed Shen Yanqing, feeling a sense of familiarity about him.
Especially those eyes, but the other person's gaze was too calm, making her think she was overthinking it.
